The Royal Dubs
Once upon a time in a land far, far, far away there lived a King and Queen. The King and Queen had a majestic castle way up on a hill with their very own secluded lake and forest. They shared their beautiful kingdom with three princesses and a prince. The princesses were young and beautiful and only cared about playing and sleeping the days away. Meanwhile, the Prince was the keeper of the land; he made sure that any uninvited guests were executed whether by his own means or help from the princesses. The Prince often enjoyed sharing his treasured catches with the King and Queen by virtue of his own show and tell methods.
Princess Sophie and Princess Bailey were inseparable and were always found together, whether it be frolicking in the forest, desperately trying to get out of the lake (especially when falling in when it was frozen), and sleeping in the royal bed. Princess Marley was more composed and strove for all the attention of the King and Queen, for you see she was once a lonely princess with no kingdom until finding the King and Queen. Prince Keiko was known for being a knight in shining armor for the Queen. Prince Keiko and the Queen were often seen conspiring to torment the King.
The King, Queen, Princesses, and Prince lived a happy and fulfilled life within the walls of their kingdom. However, outside the walls of the kingdom, the skies were becoming ever darker as the days passed. The forces that were closing in on the kingdom were not clear for quite some time. Once the King and Queen identified that the darkness surrounding them was emitting from the surrounding kingdoms it became obvious that they were under attack. The King and Queen were happy people and got along with everyone but this caused jealousy among other kingdoms and caused them to turn against the King and Queen. The days continued on and the King and Queen found themselves in a battle of keeping themselves happy in an unhappy world.
The King and Queen knew that they would have to battle the looming darkness in order to save their own happiness. They quickly devised a plan to move their kingdom away from the evil darkness and find a much more pleasant land. The plan unfolded quickly and secretly. Once the King and Queen had found new occupants of their kingdom it was time to make a quick get-away to avoid as much of the evil darkness as possible. The Queen knew the perfect place to go to re-establish true happiness in not just their kingdom but all the kingdoms that would surround them. There would be a catch though that would sadden the King and Queen. The new kingdom would be much smaller than they had grown accustomed to. Princess Sophie and Princess Bailey were bundles of energy and loved to have space to run. The King and Queen were torn in what to do about their beautiful Princesses.
In the knick of time, two peasants and their family from a distant land proposed that they would watch over the Princesses as they continued to grow and give them the much needed attention. The King and Queen agreed to this proposition and allowed the Princesses to move on and explore new kingdoms where their adventures would be numerous. Princess Sophie and Princess Bailey would forever be missed but it was never doubted that the decision was for their benefit and not the King and Queen.
The plan was in motion, the old kingdom was becoming dark, Princess Sophie and Princess Bailey had moved away to a fun-filled land, and the Queen knew exactly where she and the King would end up at. Time slowed to a crawl as it became closer to leave the old kingdom and seek out their new home. But the King knew all along that it was the right thing to do, everything was falling into place, and happiness would again overflow the King and Queen’s kingdom.
The King and Queen loaded all their precious belongings into their carriage and headed north away from the darkened land. The route they would take was filled with turmoil and torrential weather, was it a sign of a bad decision? After a long and grueling journey they had arrived and as they did so the clouds parted and the King and Queen knew that the skies had cleared for them to see the beauty in their place.
Within minutes of arriving, they were surrounded by joyous and welcoming citizens of surrounding kingdoms. The King smiled and knew that he and his Queen were finally in the right place, a place they could live as they always have and not worry about a looming darkness because no darkness could penetrate the new kingdom.
With happiness within the kingdom and surrounding the kingdom, the King and Queen truly earned their title as the Royal Dubs as they lived happily ever after.
The End
Merry Christmas

As you can see.........I have an amazing husband that I worry deserves so much more than what he has. I can only hope and pray that I can continue to be the woman he believes I am. I pray he is patient with me, because I am still working on becoming all I feel he deserves!
And baby, I would love for you to continue the story as you had planned!
I just caught up with your last couple of days, how sweet of Rusty (how much does he charge to talk to other husbands!?)! LOL...Claudine will have to have you over to play...she got an Easy Bake from my Father and stepmom and a mixer from her stepuncle. :)
